Tip: Also make sure to read my article on Foods to avoid when you don’t have a gallbladder to learn what you shouldn’t eat after a gallbladder surgery.

So you have just gotten your gallbladder removed and are not sure what foods to eat. Losing your gallbladder is not something you can recover from in a matter of days. It takes weeks, sometimes months, to recover from a gallbladder removal. In the worst cases, people may not recover at all and suffer for years from many complications and problems such as back-pain, nausea, fatigue and indigestion.

Chicken Broth
Your body is not ready to digest any hard or solid foods. You have to give it time to adapt to the new way your body works. If you eat any solid foods during the first few weeks after your gallbladder removal, you might feel nauseous and weak since your body is trying to use an organ that is not there anymore. Try to eat some chicken broth. It has worked wonders for dozens of people.

Papaya Juice

Your body needs a lot of vitamins right after a gallbladder removal and what better way to to get them than through a glass of delicious home-made fruit juice.

Papaya juice was one of my mother’s favorite drinks after having her gallbladder removed. Studies have shown that papaya, as well as melon, actually contain properties that lower your chances of getting gallbladder cancer. Those who find it almost impossible to digest anything frequently find that papaya used regularly, either in tablet or juice form, marks the turning point in the climb back to vitality and good health.

From zhion.com:
“Papaya is a good source of nutrients and some phyto-chemicals such as beta-cryptoxanthin and benzyl isothiocyanates. It is believed that these phytochemicals may offer benefits on certain chronic conditions such as cancers.”

Jello
You didn’t expect to see something like this here, did you?  Well, surprise surprise. Jello is actually very beneficial after a gallbladder surgery. The reason? It is not a solid. It is easily digestible and most importantly, it doesn’t have any seasonings or salts that might irritate your stomach lining.

Milk
Unless you’re lactose intolerant, drinking milk can actually help you in healing faster during your post-surgery days. Fat-free milk is preferable. Since you aren’t eaten any solids, you’re missing out on many necessary nutrients to help keep your body healthy. Milk is a good source of calcium. It can also help keep you strong and protect your bones. My mother used to drink soy milk all the time after her surgery and it helped her stay on her feet.
